Fornix Reconstruction Post-Operative Points

After surgery, all patients should receive ointment containing 0.3% tobramycin and 0.1% dexamethasone (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) nightly for 1 week and 1% prednisolone acetate eye drops (Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA) four times a day with tapering in 3–4 weeks. Sutures should be removed within 1-2 weeks.

Postoperative exams should be scheduled for 1 day, 1 week, 6 weeks, and 3 months, and every 3 months thereafter. At the routine postoperative examination, changes in the patient’s symptoms should be recorded and photos should be taken.
